Andre Simon of High Performance Academy joins us for our first remote podcast to discuss the nuances of chasing records, the creation of High Performance Academy and where the passion for education comes from.
Legendary tuner Shane Tecklenburg returns to talk about turning LMP3 race cars into hill climb monsters, calibrating V12 air race planes, the realities of compound turbo setups, and much more.Use “SHANET100” to get $100 off HPA's Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/tuningpackagebShane Tecklenburg, or “Shane T” as he's more commonly known, is one of the biggest names in the tuning industry, and for good reason. This long-time friend of High Performance Academy has been in the EFI tuning game for many years now, and has a reputation as the ultimate problem solver who can rectify all manner of difficult tuning issues that others have given up on.After appearing in episode #1 back in 2021, Shane now returns for episode #120, allowing us to catch up on his latest projects, starting with an in-depth look at what it takes to transform an LMP3 circuit racer into a hill climb weapon with a sub-10 minute Pikes Peak ascent in its sights. This leads us into a fascinating conversation around anti-lag, IMAP vs EMAP, and retaining as much power as possible as a car gains altitude. Next, we get an interesting insight into the world of air racing, as Shane details his tuning adventures with V12-powered Thunder Mustang race planes and the unique challenges that come with calibrating these unique machines and their dual ECUs. Back in 2021, we talked to Shane about one of the most interesting projects he's been involved with — the Mazworx SR20VE-powered triple-compound turbo drag car. This machine is fairly well-known online thanks to its incredible aesthetics and unique turbo setup, so the update on this project from Shane is a very welcome one as the team strives for that magical 3000hp goal. The conversation then falls down the very deep compound turbo rabbit hole as Shane gets into the finer details of this forced induction arrangement.As mentioned, you can listen to episode 60 featuring JT Oliver of JTO Power here.Follow Shane here:IG: @tunedbyshanetFB: Tuned By Shane TYT: TunedbyShaneTWWW: motorsportcontrol.comDon't forget, you can use “SHANET100” to get $100 off HPA's Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/tuningpackageb

What sort of process do professional tuners follow when troubleshooting issues during a race weekend? This interview dives into these topics and much more!Mike McGinnis of Innovate Tuning is also a High Performance Academy tutor and all-round engine and transmission tuning expert. He knows his stuff and, luckily for all of us, is happy to share that knowledge at events like the World Time Attack Challenge.The LYFE Motorsport R35 GT-R Skyline is no stranger to time attack or even this channel having been featured before here and also Pikes Peak. It has seen numerous changes over the years. At WTAC it ran a stroked 4.1L VR38DETT with twin Garrett GTX3076 turbos, Shepherd Transmission DCT with PPG gearset Dodson Motorsport Promax clutch and a MoTeC electronics package.This GT-R pushes 1300hp on a Dynojet in the United States and 1120hp on a Mainline in Australia, which helps show that not all dyno numbers are 'equal' to the point they generally don't matter in the way most of us think, beyond being data for the tuner behind the laptop.Owner Cole Powelson had his best WTAC event in the car, hitting a 1:25.9450, which put him third in the EMtron Pro Class and the fastest US driver to take a stab at the event over the years.The car did double duty, with Donut Media YouTuber Jeremiah Burton also hitting a solid 1:31.4800, which is more than solid for someone new to the car, track and speeds involved.
What does a balance beam have to do with scaling a business? More than you'd think. There's a reason gymnasts don't start on the high beam. In this podcast episode, Kimberly Spencer draws parallels between mastering skills on the low beam before aiming higher and how this applies to entrepreneurship. Whether it's honing focus or perfecting delegation, start small, build confidence, and when the time comes, you'll be ready for the big leagues. In this episode of the Crown Yourself podcast, host Kimberly Spencer shares a poignant moment she witnessed between a father and his daughter at a gymnastics class. The father's advice on overcoming fear and learning from falls resonated with Kimberly, prompting her to draw parallels to entrepreneurship. She reflects on her own business struggles, the emotional challenges of grief and motherhood, and the importance of resilience and self-care. Kimberly discusses strategic decision-making, the value of data in business and health, and the mindset shift from playing not to lose to playing to win. The episode is a blend of personal insights and professional strategies, ending with an empowering call to embrace one's journey and reign in life. #Entrepreneurship #GrowthMindset #PersonalGrowth What you will learn from this episode: Embracing the process of falling and getting back up Overcoming fear and embracing the coaching process Importance of trust and commitment in personal growth and entrepreneurship Practicing and building trust within oneself The metaphor of the balance beam and aiming for higher goals Embracing failure as a catalyst for progress and improvement Decision-making process and risks in entrepreneurship Reconnecting with purpose and prioritizing self-care Making strategic decisions and tracking key performance indicators Embracing resilience and commitment to playing to win Enjoy, sovereigns!

Josh joined the Navy and worked his way up to Senior Chief, responsible for the maintenance and repair of fighter jets like the F14 Tomcat and FA18 Super Hornet. Along the way, he was given huge amounts of training and experience — far more than you could ever hope to get in the civilian world — that would put him in perfect sted for when the time came to leave the Navy and work with high-powered JDM icons.In this episode, Josh discusses how he transitioned away from the military and joined Driver Motorsports, where he builds everything from engines to full car projects, as well as manning the laptop in the dyno bay *spoiler alert* our own High Performance Academy courses had a part in filling any knowledge gaps he had.Josh has always loved 90s Japanese cars, so the conversation naturally turns towards stalwarts of the era — specifically Nissan's Z32 300ZX and R32 GT-R — in an attempt to separate hype from reality. Josh owns both, so he's more than qualified to weigh in on the subject. With some great conversations around buying cars at Japanese auctions and then importing them into the States, the ins and outs of road tuning, and minimising dyno result inconsistencies, this conversation with Josh Ray is well worth a listen.

This means that although we won't be publishing any new guest appearances until mid-January, we're going to be bringing back some of our favourite older episodes that deserve another listen.**This week's High Performance Academy 'Tuned In' episode is all about big boost, big launches, and even bigger power figures as we sit down for an in-depth chat with T1 Race Development's Tony Palo.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inSelf-taught and always learning by doing, T1 Race Development's Tony Palo is a long-time industry veteran that has spent years pushing the limits of just what's possible in the import drag racing scene. Over the last decade, Tony has narrowed his focus on the venerable Nissan R35 platform, and now runs some of the fastest GTRs in the world. In this episode, Tony talks to Andre about getting his start in the tuning world and his initial dealings with "fast" Hondas during a time when going quicker largely meant a process of trial and error. These days, things are a lot more precise, and the pair discuss the many advances that the industry has seen over the last decade that have allowed tuners like Tony to push the boundaries of just what's possible.Learn more about Performance Engine Building by coming along to the next FREE lesson: hpcdmy.co/enginebuildingfWhen it comes to R35s, Tony really knows his stuff — something that's immediately obvious as this episode progresses. Massive turbos, billet VR blocks, pushing way past 2500hp, and the lessons that have been learnt along the way are all discussed in detail. This week's instalment of Tuned In is all about life on the bleeding edge, and it's a wild ride.

Is modifying a rare and desirable vehicle a really stupid idea? What's the secret to building a great street car? What makes a good engine swap? Can you actually make a career as an automotive 'YouTuber'? On this week's episode of the High Performance Academy 'Tuned In' podcast, Andre is joined by Dave Pratte and Peter Tarach from Speed Academy to help answer all these questions and many more. Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inDave and Peter have been in the automotive game for many years, starting off in with a long run in the print media world working at car magazines before eventually transitioning into the online space — specifically YouTube. Through their channel Speed Academy, they've successfully built a career online, and now spend their time taking on interesting builds for the world to see. All those hours spent either in front or behind a camera, pedalling fast cars, or swinging off the end of a half-inch driver, has given the guys a really interesting perspective on what it is we do as enthusiasts. Learn more about Performance Engine Building by coming along to the next FREE lesson: hpcdmy.co/enginebuildingfAndre first digs into what it actually takes to make money as an automotive 'YouTuber', before discussing the potential monetary pitfalls of modifying something like Speed Academy's R34 GT-R and JZA80 Supra projects — vehicles that are quickly becoming more of an investment opportunity than driveable cars. Peter and Dave then dive into the world of engine swaps — when it's a good idea, when it's a bad idea, how to do it well, and the mistakes that so many people make on their first time around. While still on the subject of swaps, Peter makes the case for DCT (dual clutch transmission) swaps being the new manual gearbox swaps, now that the industry is catching up and providing aftermarket support for CANbus integration. With discussions on what makes a great street car (hint — horsepower chasers aren't going to love the answer) and much more, this is an entertaining conversation with two experienced veterans of the modified import scene. These guys have seen it all, from the pre-Fast and Furious days, all the way through the growing pains of the last two decades to the current YouTube-dominated scene we find ourselves in today — for better or for worse.Check out Speed Academy's YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and website.

In this week's episode of High Performance Academy's Tuned In podcast, Andre reaches out to Finland to talk billet, big horsepower, and engine building with Elmer Racing's Oskar Elmgren.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inElmer Racing is best known for its incredible bespoke billet engines and its success with the PR Tech Racing Porsche 968 at World Time Attack Challenge. The 'RP968' runs one of Elmer Racing's monster four-litre, four-cylinder Thor engines. It holds the time attack record at Sydney's Eastern Creek circuit and is shockingly close to the outright record, held by Nico Hülkenberg in an A1GP car. With Thor engines dominating out in the wild and a new five-litre 'Hell' engine based on the Nissan VR38 nearly ready to hit the market, we thought this would be the perfect time to sit Oskar down and talk about how someone even goes about building an exquisite piece of tech like this. Where do you start? Is it all trial and error? What are the limitations? Is a billet engine for anyone that can afford it?Learn more about Performance Engine Building by coming along to the next FREE lesson: hpcdmy.co/enginebuildingfThankfully, Oskar is a fairly open book, and his insights into the very pointy end of the industry is a fascinating one. This episode dives deep into the weeds of the performance engine building world, and there's plenty in here that'll surprise even the most seasoned performance enthusiast.
